Morning GZ,

 

I'm getting ready to part out a PC for sale which has an LGA1151 CPU (6th/7th gen Intel Core).

 

I don't have any original packaging for the CPU, or the plastic socket cover which clips to the motherboard, so was wondering if anyone around Palmy might have something lying around gathering dust that I could put to use.

 

I am heading to Wellington tomorrow, so something around that area could be viable too.

 

Cheers

I bought some 2nd hand motherboards recently - they used cut out cardboard as the cpu cover.

I'd feel better knowing that I've used the right tool for the job, especially for the MB socket.
If I was the buyer, I'd prefer to have it this way too, as cardboard can leave bits behind which might get stuck under the socket pins.
